Black frame in video loop

Depthkit Depthkit Expansion Package for Unity

Hi!

We’re experiencing a black frame when the video loops, I’ve attached the code for the video if you can look into it? We have for each interview a stationary clip which loops and then when you enter the trigger area, the actual interview clip starts to play. The black frame appears in the stationary clip’s loop.

Thanks!
Timo

[Dropbox - MNA black frame .mov - Simplify your life] Here you can see the a few flashes of the black frame in the “static” video looped clip, which is then switched to the actual interview clip when the viewer moves closer.

@TimoWright is there by any chance a black frame in the video file itself?

Hi! The black frame comes with all videos which loop, unfortunately. checked the files and they don’t have a black frame.

@TimoWright I see in your script it looks like you are disabling the Depthkit Clip component at the end of every loop, then re-enabling it. This could be the issue as with the Clip component disabled, the other Depthkit components will not work properly. The Unity Video Player has a loop option already which should work in a more seamless fashion than manually triggering the looping yourself.

To seamlessly swap between two clips, I would recommend having a separate game object with a fully configured Depthkit Clip and Look for the stationary loop and another for the interview clip. To switch between them, you can enable/disable either the MeshRenderer component if you are using a Shader Graph Look, or the Look component itself if using the Built-in Look. Additionally, when hiding the stationary clip, pause the player, and start playback on the interview clip.
